It has been quite sometime since I updated my journal. The reason fro this is mainly because I have not been the most supportive of the new websites social spectrum. Don't get me wrong I love the new website, it handles live streams way better but the social functions just aren't the same. Anyway, Summer has been blowing by (Game of Thrones season finale also happened so that is saddening) and my job is boring but I have a phenomenal trip ahead of me.

In July I will be traveling to New Zealand with my father for about 10 days. The two of us have been looking forward to this trip for about 10 months. This trip is essentially one last hurrah with him before I go off to college in mid August.

Some of you may be wondering why I would go on such a meaningful trip before I even graduate college. The idea of going on this trip after I graduate was discussed but I intend on getting a job as soon as possible after college. That wouldn't be feasible if I was halfway around the world.

All of my hard work writing tech and gaming news as an intern at various companies and on my own website has finally paid off. Two days ago I got an email that approved 2 of my coworkers and myself for PRESS PASSES FOR RTX 2015! This is practically a dream come true! I can not wait to provide the community with awesome interviews and news coverage for the various games at RTX. The free admission and ability to cut lines does not hurt either.If anybody else got their Press Passes approved hit me up on the website, my team and I would love to get to know other journalist and content creators!

During the mic drop portion of The Patch the team was having trouble discussing other mic drop moments at E3. Remembering the Destiny Alpha for PS4 which was announced and available during E3 last year I frantically tweeted that info out to Burnie. I was really surprised that at 51:26 Burnie brought the Destiny bit up and mentioned my name which I thought was really cool.

That cool little moment couldn't have been possible had I not renewed my sponsorship this month. So people on the verge of buying the sponsorship perk, my advice is buy it and maybe your tweet might pop up on a live stream.

But three of my articles, one on Net Neutrality and two that were video game related got picked by the Dallas Morning News for a competition for DFWs Best Student Journalist. Wish me good luck, I have more nominations than any other participant so the odds may or may not be in my favor!

Since this game has been getting so many mixed reviews I decided it may be in my interest to stream Driveclub this Friday starting at 9PM CCT. Just so people can understand that this game is by no means a racing sim (IE Gran Toursimo or Forza) but is indeed an arcade racer (IE Need for Speed or Grid) Here is the link to my channel
